[xsd-users] MacOS 10.15 Catalina (x64) Builds

[Steven White]

I'm going to give build instructions a try next week.  Currently, locked down between two deadlines when I noticed the issue.  I'm super excited about a new build system so that's worth the wait.  I'll report back if I have any trouble once I can sit down and pull all the requirements down and start a build.

We are working on getting all our tools easily buildable on every platform from source packages but things are moving slower than hoped and XSD is still probably at least several months out.

I think in the meantime the easiest would be to build the XSD compiler from source using the old method, which shouldn't be too onerous on Mac OS (unlike, say, Windows). Let me know if this will work and I will send you the instructions.
